[1] Ken Dryden reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that "King and Hersch put together a wide-ranging program...frequently extending their interpretations well beyond the expectations for a vocal/piano duo" and that Hersch was "never less than brilliant throughout the evening, though the singer is equally impressive, an adventurous spirit who is unafraid of taking chances".

Siders commented that King's "...amazing ability to scat covers her freakish range from alto to infinity".

Siders highlighted "Ain't Misbehavin" and "Four" as featuring Hersch and King trading "unforgettable swinging choruses".

On "I Fall in Love Too Easily, she spotlighted each word in "I've been well schooled in the past differently, sometimes suddenly going deep and then shifting with nary a pause to a high, light sound.

The impressive thing was the rightness of her choices, those separate enunciations as emotional and musical illuminations, whether a foghorn blast on "too fast or a trombone boom on "I fall in love...." Velez highlighted the "masterful bit of give and take as Hersch responded keys in hand to each nuance of King's vocal twists and turns" on "We'll Be Together Again".
